Six months after federal courts ordered resumption of Migrant Protection Protocols<\/a> (MPP) at the southern border, the Biden administration says it is doing so in \u201cgood faith.\u201d But is it? Actions by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A grand total of 410 migrants were returned to Mexico<\/a> during December and January. That\u2019s combined<\/em>, not per month. In that same two-month period, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) \u201cencountered\u201d<\/a> 332,781 illegal border crossers, making the \u201dgood faith\u201d rate of return 0.0012 percent. For the 62-day period, DHS sent an average of 6.6 people per day back to Mexico under MPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever since the administration was ordered to restart the Remain in Mexico program, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been looking for ways to subvert it. In the course of multiple \u201creviews,\u201d the secretary reportedly concluded that MPP has \u201cendemic flaws\u201d<\/a> and is not fixable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Mayorkas\u2019 disingenuous, passive-aggressive workarounds aren\u2019t fixing anything. Rather, they encourage more illegal migration while enabling continued abuse of America\u2019s badly strained asylum system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
